The history of Easter

Easter is the Christian celebration of the resurrection of Jesus and the most important feast of the Christian year. Its date moves: in Western churches it falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21, a rule associated with the Council of Nicaea in 325. That puts Easter between March 22 and April 25. In 2027 it is March 28; Orthodox churches, which use the Julian calendar for the calculation, often celebrate on a later date.

Many Easter customs come from older spring traditions. Eggs, a symbol of new life, were decorated in Europe for centuries, and the Easter Hare, brought to America by German immigrants in the eighteenth century, became the Easter Bunny. In Washington, the White House Easter Egg Roll has been held on the South Lawn since 1878.

Today Easter is a family and community holiday for many people. Churches hold sunrise services, towns and schools hold egg hunts, and families exchange baskets of small gifts. Bunny and egg patches are popular for baskets, children’s jackets and backpacks, and for church and school egg-hunt prizes.
